Finnish Cultural Imperialism - Episode IV (New Hope)

There are something like 6000 to 7000 known languages in the world today. So what are the odds that a random entrepreneur in Singapore decides to start selling mugs with Finnish label texts in her little stall close to my home?

Only available options were in English and Finnish (Thanks to my brother for spotting this global oddity)

Perhaps it is time for Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to consider adding 5th national language.
